Property Description
There's so much love and so much TO love at this beautiful turn of the Century American Foursquare with delightful Craftsman details located on La Porte's coveted Michigan Avenue, where you will find the perfect blend of bustling and quiet. With over 2000 sq ft of living space, this spacious 4 bedroom, 1.5 home has an abundance of original features and charm: unadulterated woodwork on the main level, fully functional wavy glass windows, light fixtures, built-ins and loads of stained glass! The main level consists of a dainty front vestibule, a HUGE living room with an abundance of natural light, a formal dining room with timeless coffered ceilings and stained glass accents, a functional kitchen with attached pantry, a 1/2 bath and a delightful den with built-ins, stained glass windows and an ornamental fireplace. Upstairs you will find four generously sized bedrooms, each with surprisingly large closets, a full bath and a sizable landing. There is a full basement with a designated laundry area, chill space and ample storage. Enjoy a cold glass of lemonade on the front porch while people watching or a tasty dinner on the back deck overlooking your private fenced in backyard. The property comes with a two car detached garage as well. This home is lovely and livable as-is but has tons of potential for additional sweat equity too. This is your chance to experience the daily magic on Michigan Ave at an affordable price! (This house is in the Indiana and Michigan Avenues Historic District and is eligible for local designation through the City of La Porte but is not currently locally designated).
